An alternative deduction of the Hill-type surfaces of the spatial 3-body problem. (English) Zbl 0757.70005

Summary: Inequalities stronger than Sundman’s and the best possible zero velocity surfaces of the spatial three-body problem first obtained by D. G. Saari [Celestial Mech. 40, 197-223 (1987; Zbl 0636.70008)] are deduced using a modified version of the transformation developed by K. Zare [ibid. 14, 73-83 (1976; Zbl 0349.70005)]. The notion of inertia ellipsoid is used to show the equivalence of the present authors’ result to that of Saari’s.
